Just another week in India, really: tracking demonetization woes, with the north in the grip of a bitter cold wave; the southernmost state out on the beach to defend its cultural freedom; and a horrifying pedophile serial-killer finally caught. In the midst of these disturbing reports, a lovely story suddenly came my way about a school for grannies, the Aajibaichi Shala in Phangane Village, Thane, Maharashtra. Opened on March 8, 2016, on International Women’s Day, by the Motiram Dalal Charitable Trust and Yogendra Bangar, an award-winning teacher from Phangane Zilla Parishad’s primary school, the school has twenty-eight students between the ages of sixty and ninety.
